Chunk a PDF. Embed. Retrieve. Watch the answer sparkle. Applause. Next slide.</p> <p>Production RAG is a <strong>pipeline problem</strong> — documents that change, access policies that differ by team, embeddings that stale, audits that ask where a paragraph came from three quarters ago. The demo never shows that part. The on-call engineer lives there.</p> <p>I keep choosing Go for the unglamorous middle between source systems and vector indexes. Not because Python cannot embed. Because <strong>operations is a language choice too</strong>.</p>
